    Mar 4 2026
    In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: Iranian clerics have chosen the son of the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to lead the regime. But even as Tehran projects stability, I’ll break down the military math and explain why some hard-liners may be uneasy with what looks like dynastic succession. Spain denies U.S. forces access to key military bases tied to the Iran campaign, exposing cracks inside the Western alliance. Pakistan and Afghanistan trade cross-border strikes for a fifth straight day, raising the risk of further regional instability. Opposition leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner María Corina Machado says she plans to return to Venezuela in the coming weeks with elections in sight.

    PDB Afternoon Bulletin | March 3rd, 2026: Israel Hits Council Choosing Iran’s Next Leader & Drones Hit U.S. Embassy
    Mar 3 2026
    In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin: First up — Israel strikes the very body responsible for selecting Iran’s next supreme leader, targeting members of the Council of Experts in what appears to be a calculated move to prolong Tehran’s leadership vacuum and prevent the regime from consolidating power after the death of Ayatollah Khamenei. We examine what this means for Iran’s internal stability and whether the Islamic Republic can reestablish command and control. Later in the show — Iran escalates further, launching drone strikes against the U.S. Embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia’s capital. While casualties were limited, the attack signals a widening battlefield and raises serious questions about Tehran’s willingness to directly target American diplomatic facilities across the region.

    March 3rd, 2026: Trump Lays Out His 4 Objectives For Operation Epic Fury & Tehran Replaces Its Supreme Leader
    Mar 3 2026
    In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: First up — six Americans are now dead as Operation Epic Fury enters day four. President Trump lays out the clearest explanation yet of the war’s objectives: dismantle Iran’s missile industry, annihilate its navy, permanently block its path to a nuclear weapon, and sever its terrorist proxy networks. But what may be most telling is what’s not on that list. Later in the show — following the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, Tehran moves quickly to stabilize power. We break down the three-man interim council now in charge and what it signals about the regime’s future. Plus, U.S. embassies face violent unrest across multiple countries as anger over the strikes spills into the streets. And in today’s Back of the Brief — France announces a major shift in European nuclear posture, offering to expand its nuclear deterrent footprint across allied territory for the first time.
